This is a bit of a sore subject with me. I've always been thin, my husband as well. We're both under 5 foot 4 (he's very sensitive about that, lol).

Understandably, our children are small.

My daughter recently has had some GI issues. We brought her into a specialist who said she has constiipation and reflux.

As an aside she told us that we need to have her tested for celiac because "She's only in the 3% for height and weight and that is too small".

First of all, I almost leap for joy that she has reached the weight chart. Second of all, should I really subject my daughter to a blood test because the dr thinks she's too small? The pediatrician has always just chalked her up to genetics.

How do you feel about Drs weighing in (get it?) on the weight of your children. Whether they're big or small? My friends daughter is quite overweight and the drs want to put her on a diet. But my friend was very heavy as a child and outgrew it at puberty without any intervention.
